Heroes All
drawn Nov-Dec, ’03

Yesterday I went to the local Games Workshop and built a pile of elven rocks with a waterfall on it. Nifty, but I’ll make the next one on my own when I don’t have time constraints. It’ll turn out even better!
Here are all my heroes (people whom I admired) for 2003. They are-! Legolas, Link, Trent, Wedge, Flairé, and Sain. They are sitting on my couch in my living room, with personable equipment. Legolas and Link are, obviously, looking at the Master Sword. Trent is sitting quietly with his violin. I think he came out quite well. I’m not good at drawing ‘real people’. He’s very good as both a violinist and a fiddler, and when I hear him play in one style, I feel like he should focus on that style… until I hear him play in the other style. He played this beautiful Dvorak piece at the local music Festival once, and I just loved it. Wedge is reading one of my X-Wing series books, and he didn’t come out so well. Sain is posing, because he’s a goofball. Actually, he looks sort of like Oswin here.
Flairé is playing a (stringless) harp, and now he’s officially introduced, I suppose.
Flairé: Hi. Good to meet you people.
I’ll add a biography page sometime very soon, I think.
Flairé: That’s a good idea. No one knows me yet, and I’m your best friend!
Eheheh. Go away.
Flairé: Righto. … Why am I so short in that picture?
Shoo!
Flairé: I’m going! Bye!
He talks too much, but he’s nice. I use him in all my (adapted rules) Dungeons and Dragons games.
These people were drawn over a period of time. Legolas was drawn first, in November, and Link took from November to December. The others are labelled, so Sain was drawn on the 13th of December, Trent on the 16th and 17th, and Wedge and Flairé on the 17th.
Today is Tolkien’s birthday! Rejoice and be glad, for he is 115 years old today! (cheers)
I read a summary of Last Exile (some Japanese thing) and it looks intresting! Two young pilots who have to save a mysterious girl from sinister people? I think that’s right up my alley. Leslie offered to lend me her DVD, I think. Now I know what it’s about, I think I’ll take her up on that.
I’ve been rearranging my MD’s, and so far, I have two (from before) with classical music – one with almost the entire Marriage of Figaro on it! – and the other with Mozart’s Requiem and Smetana’s Ma Vlast and the Mozart Divertimento that we did at CYMC a few years ago. Insanely fun. I now have one with all four disks of Enya that we own, sans a couple songs I don’t like so the ones I do fit on the MD, and one of Fire in the Kitchen, Norouet’s Spirale, and Leahy. That one’s fiddle music, in case you couldn’t guess. But, for some reason, that one used to have five disks worth of music – three Natalie MacMaster CDs instead of the Leahy, and now it only fits two and a half! What’s going on?
Oh, and Mom and Dad got cell phones for Christmas and they gave me a third because their old cell phones were too old by now. I can take pictures, movies, and listen to music. I think it’s specially set up to be more of an MP3 phone than a camera phone.
Edit: The kalma above in the picture could actually be Flair.
This picture is of those two good buddies, Trent and Jeremy. This picture is vaguely recognizable as the people represented, so I feel that I was successful. Jeremy’s hair is difficult to draw because it flips out around his ears, which is hard to render sideways. Also, I’m bad at drawing people, but too bad for me, I guess.
Well, how many days has it been? 1… 2… 3… 4… well, it took five days for my brother to break his promise. He got ahead of me in Twilight Princess! The reason why I couldn’t stop him was because I was at a masterclass. Blah. Rahr!
